Feeling stretched as a caregiver?

Powerful Tools for Caregivers is an educational series designed to provide you with the tools you need to take care of yourself.

This program helps family caregivers reduce stress, improve self-confidence, communicate feelings better, balance their lives, increase their ability to make tough decisions and locate helpful resources.

Classes consist of six sessions held once a week. Two experienced class leaders will conduct the series: Mike Lamb is a Caregiver Consultant who has worked with Caregivers in nursing homes and hospital settings for many years. Lindsey Sand, has been a Caregiver Consultant for many years, she has taught the Powerful Tools class numerous times and knows the impact this class has on caregivers.

Interactive lessons, discussions and brainstorming will help you take the ?Äútools?Äù you choose and put them into action for your life.

You will receive a book, The Caregiver Helpbook, developed specifically for the class. A donation of $35 to help defray the cost of materials is suggested, but not required to attend the class.
